Perth's history of migration dates back to the early 19th century, when the Swan River Colony was established in 1829 as a free settlement, attracting British settlers to Western Australia's coastline. The discovery of gold in the 1890s transformed Perth almost overnight, drawing migrants from across Australia, Britain, and beyond, and cementing the city's role as the commercial heart of the west.

The post-World War II era brought significant waves of migrants from Italy, Greece, and other parts of Southern and Eastern Europe, with Fremantle serving as the first point of arrival for many migrant ships. Today, Western Australia has the highest proportion of overseas-born residents of any Australian state, with approximately one in three Perth residents born overseas. This diversity continues to grow, shaped by skilled migration, humanitarian entrants, and international students from across Asia, the subcontinent, and the Pacific. Read Less
